Title: Diagnostic assay for transmisible spongiform encephalopathies
Inventor: SANCHEZ JEAN-CHARLES
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: Heart and brain fatty acid binding proteins (H-FABP, B-FABP) are markers for TSEs, especially CJD. The invention provides a diagnostic assay for either of these markers, preferably by enzyme immunoassay using a specific antibody thereto. Since H-FABP is also a marker for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), to distinguish CJD from AMI requires an assay specific to AMI, e.g. using troponin-1 or CK-MB as a marker, also to be carried out.

Title: Method of enlarging a region of interest on a graphical display
Inventor: READHEAD NIGEL
IPC: G06F3/0481
Filed: 2000-03-11
Abstract: A cluster of features are plotted against x and y axes to produce a graph. In order to view an area of the display which is of particular interest the user clicks the mouse pointer at a point on the x axis which causes a vertical cursor line to be displayed, as shown. Moving the mouse to the left or right causes a second vertical cursor line to be dragged along the x axis to select a section which is to be displayed in greater detail. The display is then redrawn with the x axis re-scaled to the selected section. At the same time, the y axis is re-scaled to include all the features within the selected section plus a small margin 5% above and below the maximum and minimum y values. The display can be re-scaled an unlimited number of times, and the parameters of each zoom are stored in memory so that any of the enlargements can be undone by clicking the right mouse button. By clicking an Up button the user can add 10% to the margin at the top of the display, and clicking the Down button adds 10% to the bottom of the display.

IPC: G08B13/24
Filed: 2000-08-09
Abstract: A system for monitoring movement of people and/or shopping trolleys or carts in a shop or other retail outlet, eg. to assess shopping trends. Unique radio frequency (RF) tags are attached to a trolley or shopping basket so that it can be identified as it moves around a supermarket allowing the manager to observe the movement and/or extent of usage of equipment and to assess which products and aisles are most popular and which shelves are not visited by a consumer. The system can also detect when a trolley leaves the shop without going through a till or payment point, activating a camera at the exit, or when a trolley leaves the car park, so that theft can be detected. In one embodiment, the information can be accessed remotely at the supermarket headquarters.

Title: Encoding video signal for transmission over low bandwidth cabling
Inventor: OGDEN JAMES
IPC: H04N7/10
Filed: 2001-05-10
Abstract: The colour resolution of video Low Voltage Differential Signals (LVDS), received from a source, e.g. a computer, and decoded using a Digital Video Interface (DVI) (<B>1</B>) is reduced (<B>3</B>). The data is then stored in a frame buffer (<B>5</B>) prior to being sent along a reduced bandwidth cable (<B>10</B>), for example to a display monitor. Dynamically reducing the colour resolution as the data rate of the signal increases, monitored by circuitry (<B>9</B>), aids signal transmission within a restricted bandwidth. The advantage is enhanced when used in conjunction with known compression techniques (<B>6</B>) and refresh rate control.

Title: Rotary heat exchanger and a method of desulpherising flue gas
Inventor: COOPER JAMES
IPC: F28D19/04
Filed: 2001-06-01
Abstract: A method of cooling a first gas (70) and heating a second gas (72, 73) wherein the first gas passes through rotatable heat transfer elements (61) at a high input temperature in a first direction, and the second gas enters the heat transfer elements at a temperature lower than that of the first gas. A first fraction (72) of the second gas passes through the heat transfer elements in a first direction, and the remaining fraction (73) of the second gas passes through the heat transfer elements in the opposite direction. To desulpherise a flue gas (71), it is passed through a sea water scrubber (figure 1, 109). The design of the heat exchanger prevents condensation forming by keeping temperatures away from the dew point of water.

Abstract: A method for making a cushion pad 30 is disclosed, comprising the steps of making a base layer 17 making decorative members 20, attaching the decorative members 20 to the base layer 17 and surface treating the base layer 17. The base layer 17 is formed by mixing rubber particles made by comminuting used tyres with an adhesive to form a mixture. The mixture is molded to form a thick plate which is then sliced to thin sheets serving as the base layer 17. The decorative members 20 may be made by directly cutting EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) or PU (Polyurethane) sheets of different colors into desired shapes. Alternatively, the decorative members 20 should be made by mixing EPDM or PU particles with an adhesive to form a mixture. The mixture is molded to form a thick plate which is then sliced to thin sheets. The thin sheets are then cut to desired shapes. The decorative members 20 are attached to the base layer 17, by adhesive to forms a desired pattern for entertainment or educational purposes. The claimed cushion pad can be used as a resilient safety mat for use in play areas.

Title: Cleaning compositions and uses
Inventor: BLAGG ADRIAN
IPC: C11D3/39
Filed: 2002-01-18
Abstract: A dilutable cleaning composition comprises a pH-elevating component and a pH-lowering component, the composition being such that when it is mixed with water the pH-elevating component dissolves or disperses in the water thereby elevating the pH of the water to at least 8.5 and subsequently the pH-lowering component dissolves or disperses in the water, thereby lowering the pH of the water from at least 8.5 to not more than 4. When the water is at the raised pH, the cleaning composition is effective in removing proteinaceous or fatty soiling, and when the composition is at the lowered pH, the composition is effective at removing alkaline waste materials such as limescale. The cleaning composition is particularly suitable for use as a lavatory or hard surface cleaner.

Afterwards the first part is connected to the housing of the medical injector thereby locking the third part to the first part. When dialling the pointer on the second part clockwise a protrusion provided an the second part will abut another protrusion located on the third part once the preselected desired dose is reached, thereby preventing larger doses from being set.
